SOPA does not 'delete' any domains. SOPA says that it can tell ISPs and Domain servers to not resolve certain domain names (within the US, the rest of the world doesn't, or shouldn't use US ISPs or domain servers). And it only affects domain names registered outside of the US. As others have stated here, the US already has existing measures to address US domains via ICE.
One of the reasons behind the claim: "SOPA will break the internet", is that many people in the US may start using non US domain servers to circumvent SOPA, and this would make our current routing and caching mechanisms inefficient.
I totally understand, but I encourage those that feel strongly about this subject to learn those kinds of details. There's a lot of Pro- and Anti-SOPA FUD out there.
